The Tiger Has Always Been Made in Japan
ChokeSports.com is the official international distributor for ISAMI — your direct source for authentic Japanese jiu-jitsu equipment. The Isami Japan BJJ Gi is a made-to-order kimono woven, cut, and sewn entirely in Japan, built for practitioners who refuse to settle for less. Carrying the tora (虎) as its symbol, it pairs ultra-soft sashiko fabric with ukiyo-e tiger graphics that belong on a wall as much as on the mat. Order yours now!
Important: This item is always made to order in Japan. Once production begins, we cannot accept returns, cancellations, or modifications. Please double-check your specs and details before confirming your order.
Built Tight, Woven Right, Zero Shortcuts
- Shrink-resistant fabric construction keeps your fit consistent wash after wash, so your A2 stays an A2
- 35% cotton / 65% polyester single-layer sashiko weave on the jacket delivers softness you can feel on day one and durability that survives years of hard training
- T/C twill pants give you full freedom of movement during guard work, takedowns, and transitions without stiffness or drag
The jacket uses a single-weave sashiko fabric with anti-shrink processing, rated at approximately 2.8% vertical / 3.1% horizontal shrinkage. The pants follow the same anti-shrink standard at approximately 3.6% vertical / 1.8% horizontal. Both are cut and sewn in Japan to Isami's exacting standards. The result is a gi that fits correctly, moves with you, and holds its shape across the long run.
The Tiger That Fights, The Craft That Lasts
- Made entirely in Japan: fabric woven domestically, sewn with care at our facitily in Kuki, Saitama, not outsourced at any stage
- Made-to-order production: your gi is built when you order it, not pulled from a mass-production shelf
- Available in white, blue, and black: three color expressions of the same standard, each with full tiger embroidery and back panel graphic
The chest carries two embroidered tigers labeled Tokyo and Japan. The back features a full ukiyo-e-style panel of a tiger in breaking waves, flanked by two phrases: 虎嘯風生 (when the tiger roars, the wind rises) and 明鏡止水 (a clear mirror, still water, an undisturbed mind). Isami has been building budo equipment in Japan for decades, and this gi sits alongside the Isami Classic and Isami Tora in ChokeSports.com's Made in Japan lineup. As ISAMI specialists and official international distributors, ChokeSports.com is your only authorized source for this kimono outside Japan.
